I bought the 08 Dom awhile ago and still have it cellared. Given the Krug vintage is much more than the Cristal I think my preference to is hope I drink it on someone else's dime.

I am not sure the price of Krug justifies it, but it is great. But if I can get 2 bottles of Cristal for one Krug, not a bad way to go
